Of course, politicians are the same everywhere.

In the face of Konoha’s anger, the Sand Village expressed regret for the loss of important items.

But as for the espionage that you are protesting about, there is absolutely no such thing.

Yes, you know that the thief is my man, and that man is fleeing towards us.

But doing it is one thing, but from an official standpoint, it cannot be admitted even if you kill yourself.

But the top leaders of the Sand Village did not expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen was waiting for them to say this.

Shortly after the Sand Village recovered, Konoha’s senior ninjas set out collectively and used ninjutsu to teleport directly to the border between the Rain Country and the Sand Country.

Since you don’t admit that they are your people, then it’s right for me to just send people to guard the border.

Moreover, these Jonins are all within the territory of the Rain Country and have not crossed the border.

The Sand Village was unable to respond to such behavior.

Others have not entered your territory, and they are indeed hunting down criminals who have nothing to do with you.

From any perspective, they had no valid reason to send someone to support them.

This is the secret war between the great powers.

The Sand Village chose to expose their spies at this time to carry out the theft, and they actually had their considerations.

This was actually a test for the new Hokage.

Test the style and habits of the new leader.

But they didn’t expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen, who always presented himself as a dovish person.

We will be so decisive and tough in facing this crisis.

Caught off guard, the Sand Village had no choice but to suffer the loss.

A group of senior ninjas were guarding the border line, which basically announced the possibility of Shota Nida returning to the Sand Village.

Not long ago, Danzo had received information from the Anbu.

The ANBU members at the front had already encountered and fought with Shota Nida.

What no one expected was that Nitta Shota had already gathered around him a group of masters formed by the Sand Village and the Rain Village.

Both sides suffered considerable losses in this encounter.

But in the end, Shota Nida still escaped.

The good news is that after Shota Nida’s route was figured out, the Anbu have roughly deduced his possible hiding place.

All that remains is to wait for the subsequent reinforcements to arrive and then encircle and capture them.

It was precisely because of this information that Danzo decided to find a place to rest temporarily.

This led to the scene at the beginning where they were warming themselves by a fire in the abandoned house.

Kagura took a piece of freshly roasted dry food from the fire and took a big bite.

The hard dry food is baked at high temperature, and the outer layer becomes crispy.

Tsunade and the other two were currently closing their eyes and taking a rest.

After all, for the three of them, the continuous journey over the past two days had consumed a lot of their energy.

After poking the fire in front of him with some wood, Danzo said to Kagura expressionlessly:

“I think there will be more ninjas from the Hidden Rain Village intercepting us.

If this happens again, I will abandon you and break out alone.

At that time, I hope you can delay the enemy as much as possible.”

Hearing this, Kagura looked up at him, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement with his suggestion.

After all, he knew very well that sending all the jonin to block the boundary line did look tough.

But this approach is also time-limited.

Not to mention how long the Sand Village can endure this kind of arrangement.

Just say that this practice of sending out all the high-end combat forces will also leave Konoha Village in a state of emptiness, and Konoha will also have to guard against attacks from other people with ulterior motives.

So in general, they don’t have much time left to capture Shota Nida.

In this situation, it is obviously more important to let Danzo arrive at the scene as soon as possible.

Seeing Kagura nod, Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew in his heart that even though he was nominally the team’s leader.

But the core figure of the entire team is Kagura in front of him. If he does not agree with his strategy, then it will probably be difficult to implement it later.

After a short rest for an hour, everyone extinguished the fire and set out again.

Soon after, in a stone forest surrounded by stones.

Kagura and others were surrounded by enemies again.

Danzo frowned as he swung the kunai in his hand to knock away a dart flying towards him.

Apparently, more people were sent to hinder them this time.

And this time the enemy clearly knew their strength.

After driving them into the stone forest, they did not show up, but hid among the piles of rocks and launched harassing long-range attacks on them.

It has to be said that in this rainy environment, the ninjas of the Hidden Rain Village who are good at water escape have a unique advantage.

Whenever Danzo rushed towards the enemy, they would immediately perform water jutsu and hide in puddles or ponds.

Then other people in the distance would throw out a bunch of ninja tools and force Danzo back to his original position.

It was obvious that these people were ordered to drag them here.

Looking at the tense battle situation in front of him, Danzo looked at Kagura.

Kagura immediately understood what he meant, which was a signal to help him break through the encirclement.

But Kagura was also in trouble at this time, because he did not have the right ninjutsu to break the deadlock.

It’s not that he doesn’t have it, but it’s not appropriate to show his tailed beast coat state and Chidori in front of Danzo at this time.

The Fire Style that the Uchiha clan is good at cannot perform to its full potential in this rainy environment.

As for the eye technique of Kotoamatsukami, he didn’t mind using it in front of Danzo.

But the problem was that the hazy rainy day restricted the use of pupil techniques, and the opponent did not fight back head-on, so he had no chance to use it.

After thinking for a moment, he gestured to the other three.

Tsunade and the others immediately understood his intention and nodded to him.

He took a deep breath, and four shadow clones suddenly appeared around him.

As soon as the shadow clone appeared, it immediately rushed out in four different directions.

Obviously, these clones were meant to attract firepower, and the five of them suddenly rushed out in another direction.

Just in front of them, several enemies suddenly emerged from the water.

After this period of fighting, Kagura and others have obviously adapted to this water-style appearance.

Tsunade jumped high and slammed down suddenly, knocking all the enemies in front of her away.

It is her famous skill – the painful kick.

Kagura also drew out her kunai and took the initiative to confront the remaining enemies.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya followed Danzo on the left and right and continued to move forward.

However, they had only taken two steps when a large number of kunai and shurikens appeared in front of them.

A huge number of ninja tools poured down on the three people like a torrential rain.

Orochimaru immediately stopped and quickly formed hand seals.

As he puffed up his cheeks and exhaled, a huge gust of wind appeared.

The violent wind instantly blew away all the ninja tools in front of them. Danzo and Jirai did not slow down at all and directly broke through this area of ​​strong winds.

Just as the two were about to leave the stone forest, the last wave of interception from the enemy finally appeared.

Two ninjas stood on the last stone, and as they formed hand seals, hundreds of arrow blades made of water condensed in the air.

As soon as the water arrows condensed, they shot towards the two of them.

In a rainy environment, water-style ninjutsu was significantly enhanced, with its power and speed being significantly stronger than usual.

Looking at the huge number of attacks in front of him, Jiraiya suddenly flashed in front of Danzo.

After a simple seal with one hand, his silver hair suddenly grew wildly longer.

In the blink of an eye, the silver hair turned into hard armor, covering him and Danzo tightly.

“Clang, clang, clang!”

The sound of metal colliding was endless, and those seemingly sharp water blades were like hitting a hard iron wall.

Apart from leaving some white marks on the fortress formed by silver hair, there was no way to break through its defense.

After just a few dozen seconds, the attack that seemed like it would never stop finally disappeared.

Just as the attack disappeared, a hole suddenly opened in the silver fortress, and Danzo rushed out like a cannonball.

A figure flashed, and a ninja standing in front suddenly changed his expression and covered his neck in fear.

But his actions obviously had no effect, and blood still spurted out from between his fingers.

In the moment when they passed each other, Danzo had actually eliminated an enemy.

The last ninja’s eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he threw all his weapons towards the black shadow without any reservation.

Looking at the several kunai flying towards him, Danzo, who could have easily blocked them, dodged them in order to escape faster.

Ignoring the enemy in front of him, he pushed off his feet and finally left the stone forest.

However, it was at this moment that an accident happened.
